Three ways to cool your skin!

It feels like summer is going to stay for a while... and it's only getting hotter :/ When you're hot, you can get puffy and sweaty--here are some ways to cool your skin to instantly refresh yourself!

1. Use a cooling product



Use an aloe gel/lotion or peppermint spray on your face and body! I like to use peppermint spray on my feet when I've been walking a lot and the veins are popping out, and aloe gel after a cold shower to continue that nice, cold feeling.
Try: The Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Foot SpraySanta Maria Novella Aloe Face and Body Gel

2. Chill your products

Store your toner and eye cream or gel in the fridge! The cold temperature will de-puff your skin. Or, store some metal spoons in the freezer and put them on your eyes.

3. Cool your pulse points


 

You know how jumping into a cold shower makes you colder, faster than sitting in an air-conditioned room? Heat transfer happens a lot faster when you're in direct contact with solids and liquids. Run cold water on your wrists under a faucet for a few minutes, or hold a cold water bottle on the back of your neck. Concentrating on your pulse points will get you cool much faster than the rest of your body.
